Renewed
This summer, the
Audubon Center for
Art and Conservation
debuts new wings
whose three galleries
and theater showcase
the naturalist’s legacy.
A playground shows
avian maturation as an
intervactive arc from
egg to flight via zipline.
The site includes the
house in which Audu-
bon, an emigré from
Saint-Domingue—Hai-
ti—got to know Amer-
ica. “Hunting, fishing,
drawing, and music
occupied my every
moment,” he wrote of
those days. “Cares I
knew not, and cared
naught about them.”
